The first artist's impression of the new purpose-built Jindabyne Ambulance Station has been unveiled, marking a major milestone in delivering enhanced emergency care for the Snowy Mountains community.
Planning and design is in the final stages, and the construction tender process is now underway for the new station which will be located on Kosciuszko Road, west of the Snowy Mountains Grammar School.
Construction is expected to begin in the coming months, following planning approval and the appointment of a builder.
The modern facility will include:
- Six internal parking bays, including a dedicated wash bay
- administration and office areas
- staff amenities to support rest and wellbeing
- staff parking
- logistics and storage areas.
The site was selected following a comprehensive planning process using best-practice modelling software to map Triple Zero calls. Its location will provide optimal access to the major road network, ensuring optimal emergency response times across the Snowy Mountains.
The new purpose-built station will replace the existing station at Thredbo Terrace, Jindabyne enhancing emergency healthcare for the Jindabyne community.
The new Jindabyne Ambulance Station is part of the NSW Government's $232 million Rural Ambulance Infrastructure Reconfiguration Program which already delivered 53 new, rebuilt or upgraded ambulance stations across rural and regional NSW to boost frontline emergency care.

Quotes attributable to Minister for Regional Health, Ryan Park:
"It is exciting to get a first look at the design of the new ambulance station, which will provide a modern workplace for local paramedics and replace the existing station at Thredbo Terrace, Jindabyne.
"This investment will ensure local paramedics have the facilities they need to deliver world-class emergency care across the Snowy Mountains region.
"The Minns Government is delivering more ambulance stations and more paramedics, to ensure people right across NSW have access to the emergency care they need, when they need it."
Quotes attributable to Member for Monaro, Steve Whan:
"This announcement is a long time coming. When I became the local Member for the second time, I found that the Nationals had made yet another empty promise. No design, no funding allocation and that government didn't even own the land - in other word, nothing but announcements.
"Since returning, I've been working with the Minister for Health and Health Infrastructure to make this project a reality.
"I'm so pleased to be able to present the artist's impressions and I look forward to construction finally commencing soon.
"Our paramedics will have a purpose-built station to help them deliver the best possible emergency and mobile medical care when and where it's needed.
